About Us

Our Foundation

Maritime Pastoral Training Foundation, Ltd. was founded as a non-profit charitable organization in February 2018. The Internal Revenue Service verified its status as a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt charity on March 18, 2018.  MPTF was formed to create shipboard training opportunities for youth on the inland waterways now only found on the Great Lakes or in coastal regions. To accomplish this, in March 2020 MPTF acquired the historic Vietnam War gunboat, PTF-26, hoping to continue its impressive 20 year post-Navy service as an operational museum ship and a Sea Scout training vessel with an award-winning all-female crew in Sacramento, CA.  MPTF plans to relocate PTF-26 from Morro Bay, CA to Paducah, KY once public health conditions allow.  Renamed T/S JESSE L. BROWN, PTF-26 will become Kentucky's 1st historic ship museum, a hands-on seamanship trainer for maritime-oriented youth (Sea Cadets, Sea Scouts, NJROTC) & future home of the maritime chaplains school.
